SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

[CX] The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the
requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 defers to
the ISO C standard.

The wcsncmp() function shall compare not more than n wide-character codes (wide-character codes that follow a null
wide-character code are not compared) from the array pointed to by ws1 to the array pointed to by ws2.

The sign of a non-zero return value shall be determined by the sign of the difference between the values of the first pair of
wide-character codes that differ in the objects being compared.

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, wcsncmp() shall return an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0, if the possibly
null-terminated array pointed to by ws1 is greater than, equal to, or less than the possibly null-terminated array pointed
to by ws2, respectively.
